title: Heterogeneity of osmium oxidation efficiency at consecutive thymines.
abstract: Consecutive thymine sequences were oxidized more efficiently with a mixture including potassium osmate, potassium hexacyanoferrate(III), and bipyridine than an isolated thymine, and, in particular, osmium oxidation at the 5'T of TT progressed much more rapidly, compared with those of other thymines.
